Use Asheville Meeting Incentives to Your Advantage
Book a new meeting through Explore Asheville and be eligible for up to $5,000 (or up to $10,000 for a multi-year contract) to enhance your Asheville meeting.
Incentive Program Details
Incentive eligibility is based upon new RFPs for room nights Sunday through Thursday for meetings held April through December and new RFPs for room nights any day of the week for meetings held January through March. To be eligible, all RFPs must be sourced/distributed by Explore Asheville to the hotel(s) that meet your meeting’s needs.
The cash incentive is paid directly to the agreed-upon local business.
| Total Contracted Rooms | Incentive Amount |
| 50-99 | $500 |
| 100-199 | $1,000 |
| 200-299 | $1,500 |
| 300-499 | $2,500 |

If multiple-year contracts are signed simultaneously, the group is eligible for each year contracted. Incentive dollars are for new business only (have not met in Asheville for the past three years) and do not apply to existing contracts. Explore Asheville reserves the right to end the incentive program at any time.
